Automatically shipment and invoice order in Magento

>> In magento to complete an order from admin you need to create an Invoice then a Shipment. If you want to make it by once click on shipment button. you can easily try this code to get the result.

     $order = $orderObj;                  // get your order object.

     if ($order->getState() == Mage_Sales_Model_Order::STATE_NEW) {
            
            try {
                if(!$order->canInvoice()) {
                    $order->addStatusHistoryComment('Order cannot be invoiced.', false);
                    $order->save();
                }
                
                //START Handle Invoice
                $invoice = Mage::getModel('sales/service_order', $order)->prepareInvoice();

                $invoice->setRequestedCaptureCase(Mage_Sales_Model_Order_Invoice::CAPTURE_OFFLINE);
                $invoice->register();

                $invoice->getOrder()->setCustomerNoteNotify(false);        
                $invoice->getOrder()->setIsInProcess(true);
                $order->addStatusHistoryComment('Automatically INVOICED.', false);

                $transactionSave = Mage::getModel('core/resource_transaction')
                    ->addObject($invoice)
                    ->addObject($invoice->getOrder());

                $transactionSave->save();
                //END Handle Invoice
                
                //START Handle Shipment
                $shipment = $order->prepareShipment();
                $shipment->register();

                $order->setIsInProcess(true);
                $order->addStatusHistoryComment('Automatically SHIPPED.', false);

                $transactionSave = Mage::getModel('core/resource_transaction')
                    ->addObject($shipment)
                    ->addObject($shipment->getOrder())
                    ->save();
                //END Handle Shipment
            } catch (Exception $e) {
                $order->addStatusHistoryComment('Exception occurred during automaticallyInvoiceShipCompleteOrder action. Exception message: '.$e->getMessage(), false);
                $order->save();
            }              
     }

Now see I've implemented it in shipment save action, means when you'll click on the shipment button to create the shipment, it'll automatically generate the invoice also. Go to app/code/core/Mage/Adminhtml/controllers/Sales/Order/ShipmentController.php
find the saveAction() method and replace it with the following code :

        public function saveAction()
        {
            $data = $this->getRequest()->getPost('shipment');
            if (!empty($data['comment_text'])) {
                Mage::getSingleton('adminhtml/session')->setCommentText($data['comment_text']);
            }
       
            try {
                $shipment = $this->_initShipment();
                if (!$shipment) {
                    $this->_forward('noRoute');
                    return;
                }
       
                $shipment->register();
               
                $order = $shipment->getOrder();
                if(!$order->canInvoice()) {
                    $order->addStatusHistoryComment('Order cannot be invoiced.', false);
                    $order->save();
                }
               
                //START Handle Invoice
                $invoice = Mage::getModel('sales/service_order', $order)->prepareInvoice();
       
                $invoice->setRequestedCaptureCase(Mage_Sales_Model_Order_Invoice::CAPTURE_OFFLINE);
                $invoice->register();
       
                $invoice->getOrder()->setCustomerNoteNotify(false);       
                $invoice->getOrder()->setIsInProcess(true);
                $order->addStatusHistoryComment('Automatically INVOICED.', false);
       
                $transactionSave = Mage::getModel('core/resource_transaction')
                    ->addObject($invoice)
                    ->addObject($invoice->getOrder());
       
                $transactionSave->save();
                //END Handle Invoice
               
                $comment = '';
                if (!empty($data['comment_text'])) {
                    $shipment->addComment(
                        $data['comment_text'],
                        isset($data['comment_customer_notify']),
                        isset($data['is_visible_on_front'])
                    );
                    if (isset($data['comment_customer_notify'])) {
                        $comment = $data['comment_text'];
                    }
                }
       
                if (!empty($data['send_email'])) {
                    $shipment->setEmailSent(true);
                }
       
                $shipment->getOrder()->setCustomerNoteNotify(!empty($data['send_email']));
                $responseAjax = new Varien_Object();
                $isNeedCreateLabel = isset($data['create_shipping_label']) && $data['create_shipping_label'];
       
                if ($isNeedCreateLabel && $this->_createShippingLabel($shipment)) {
                    $responseAjax->setOk(true);
                }
       
                $this->_saveShipment($shipment);
       
                $shipment->sendEmail(!empty($data['send_email']), $comment);
       
                $shipmentCreatedMessage = $this->__('The shipment has been created.');
                $labelCreatedMessage    = $this->__('The shipping label has been created.');
       
                $this->_getSession()->addSuccess($isNeedCreateLabel ? $shipmentCreatedMessage . ' ' . $labelCreatedMessage
                    : $shipmentCreatedMessage);
                Mage::getSingleton('adminhtml/session')->getCommentText(true);
            } catch (Mage_Core_Exception $e) {
                if ($isNeedCreateLabel) {
                    $responseAjax->setError(true);
                    $responseAjax->setMessage($e->getMessage());
                } else {
                    $this->_getSession()->addError($e->getMessage());
                    $this->_redirect('*/*/new', array('order_id' => $this->getRequest()->getParam('order_id')));
                }
            } catch (Exception $e) {
                Mage::logException($e);
                if ($isNeedCreateLabel) {
                    $responseAjax->setError(true);
                    $responseAjax->setMessage(
                        Mage::helper('sales')->__('An error occurred while creating shipping label.'));
                } else {
                    $this->_getSession()->addError($this->__('Cannot save shipment.'));
                    $this->_redirect('*/*/new', array('order_id' => $this->getRequest()->getParam('order_id')));
                }
       
            }
            if ($isNeedCreateLabel) {
                $this->getResponse()->setBody($responseAjax->toJson());
            } else {
                $this->_redirect('*/sales_order/view', array('order_id' => $shipment->getOrderId()));

Create custom pagination in magento

Hope you known about block, xml in Magento.
Here is an extracted code that would help you to create pagination with custom collection in magento.

    >> First paste the following code in your block class (e.g. product.php)
       
        <?php
        class example extends parentclass
        {
            private $_itemPerPage = 2;
            private $_pageFrame = 8;
            private $_curPage = 1;
           
            public function getCollection($collection = 'null')
            {
                if($collection != 'null'){
                    $page = $this->getRequest()->getParam('p');
                    if($page) $this->_curPage = $page;
                   
                    $collection->setCurPage($this->_curPage);
                    $collection->setPageSize($this->_itemPerPage);
                    return $collection;
                }
            }
           
            public function getPagerHtml($collection = 'null')
            {   
                $html = false;
                if($collection == 'null') return;
                if($collection->count() > $this->_itemPerPage)
                {
                    $curPage = $this->getRequest()->getParam('p');
                    $pager = (int)($collection->count() / $this->_itemPerPage);
                    $count = ($collection->count() % $this->_itemPerPage == 0) ? $pager : $pager + 1 ;
                    $url = $this->getPagerUrl();
                    $start = 1;
                    $end = $this->_pageFrame;
                   
                    $html .= '<ol>';
                    if(isset($curPage) && $curPage != 1){
                        $start = $curPage - 1;                                       
                        $end = $start + $this->_pageFrame;
                    }else{
                        $end = $start + $this->_pageFrame;
                    }
                    if($end > $count){
                        $start = $count - ($this->_pageFrame-1);
                    }else{
                        $count = $end-1;
                    }

                    {
                        if($i >= 1){
                            if($curPage){
                                $html .= ($curPage == $i) ? '<li class="current">'. $i .'</li>' : '<li><a href="'.$url.'&p='.$i.'">'. $i .'</a></li>';
                            }else{
                                $html .= ($i == 1) ? '<li class="current">'. $i .'</li>' : '<li><a href="'.$url.'&p='.$i.'">'. $i .'</a></li>';
                            }
                        }
                       
                    }
                   
                    $html .= '</ol>';
                }
               
                return $html;
            }
           
            public function getPagerUrl()                            // You need to change this function as per your url.
            {
                $cur_url = mage::helper('core/url')->getCurrentUrl();
                $new_url = preg_replace('/\&p=.*/', '', $cur_url);
               
                return $new_url;
            }
       
        }
        ?>
       
    >> Now you have to modify your frontend phtml page. (e.g. custom.phtml)
       
        <?php
            $_collections = $this->getProductCollection();            // Default Collection on which you'll implement pagination.
            $_productCollection = $this->getCollection($_collections);  // calling the function that have been created in block page.
            foreach ($_productCollection as $_product):

           ------------------ Your code here ------------

           endforeach;
        ?>   
        <?php if($this->getPagerHtml($this->getProductCollection())):?>        // pass the default collection as parameter
        <div class="pages">
            <span><?php echo $this->__('Page : ');?></span>
            <?php echo $this->getPagerHtml($this->getProductCollection());?>
        </div>
        <?php endif;?>
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       

get product quantity/qty in Magento

>> $_product is your product object. = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load('product_id');

    <?php
      $stock = Mage::getModel('cataloginventory/stock_item')->loadByProduct($_product);
      $qty = $stock->getQty();
      print_r( $stock->getData());      // To get other stock information.
    ?>

How to redirect in magento

>> Pass the url in this function :

    public function redirect($url)
    {
        return Mage::app()->getFrontController()
                       ->getResponse()
                       ->setRedirect($url);  
    }

Change default sort by order for one category in Magento

>> If you want to change default sort by value "position" to "name", change admin category setting. see the screen-shot.

   

    you can change default direction by providing the following code in Custom Layout Update section in admin category "Custom Design" Tab
    <reference name="product_list_toolbar">
          <action method="setDefaultDirection"><dir>desc</dir></action>
    </reference>

>> Add "created_at" in sort by dropdown.

    update eav_attribute set frontend_label = "Date" where attribute_code = "created_at" AND entity_type_id = 4; // Ensure about the entity_type_id
    update catalog_eav_attribute set used_for_sort_by = 1 where attribute_id = (select attribute_id from eav_attribute where attribute_code = "created_at" AND entity_type_id = 4);
   
    Now You can see the Date in admin default sort by configuration.
    Admin=>System=>Configuration=>Catalog=>Frontend=> change value here "Product Listing Sort by"

>> If you want to add another attribute, go to the attribute setting and set "yes" for use for default sort by, see the screen-shot.
